Warthog Rudder?

[dokken1212]

Hi folks

 

My rudder pedals packed in last night (only 7 months old and have contacted Thrustmaster support). In the meantime, could anyone with a Warthog advise where they have bound their rudder please? Im struggling to find a reasonable solution.

 

Many thanks

Hey, I'm not sure if I totally follow. What do you mean by where the rudder is "bound"? As in the keybindings? 

 

There isn't a Warthog rudder pedal (it's only the stick and throttle), maybe you mean the T-Flight pedals?

  I am afraid that there isn't really going to be a good keybind/HOTAS button solution for your problem. You can certainly bind the rudder to some buttons on the stick or throttle and that may be your only option here but it won't really give you the (required) level of control to properly handle rudder in a WWII aircraft. 

 

  Hopefully Thrustmaster gets you fixed up soon. I hope these were not their rather expensive TPM pedals that failed after seven months.

Many thanks - no it wasnt to be fair. It was the much cheaper T-Flight. I just bought the TPM's today though as I cant be doing without a rudder and will exchange my broken T-Flights and then sell the new one on. As you say, and as I suspected, there wouldnt really be a way round this so rather than wait days/weeks for a replacement i just took the plunge for the TPM. Hopefully they do last longer than 7 months lol

Before I got my pedals, I used the right hand slider on the throttle for rudder control. Though I stuck with jets in that time as trying to fly a warbird that way was a bit awkward. Mostly used it so I could have nose wheel steering.

deltasim electronics mod, works fine for rudder:

That mod is well worth it - Thrustmaster should have done that from the beginning!
